Tracy Lyons Draws Attention to Global Warming

by Sandra Williams

Tracy Lyons Tracy Lyons, environmental activist and National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) advocate is in the middle of her Mercury Rising Tour. The musician is drawing attention to global warming, pollution and encouraging alternative energy solutions such as solar and wind power.

The video called “Save Me” has been viewed on YouTube over 250,000 times. It has become an emotional environmental anthem which has been featured on NRDC’s youth website ItsYourNature.org and Treehugger as well as many others.

If you download the song “Save Me”on iTunes all proceeds go to National Resources Defense Council (NRDC). It’s an environmental action organization that Tracy is both an advocate and a member of. NRDC is an excellent source for the latest environmental issues and they keep you up to speed on the newest developments. Their site is very informative and educational and I have learned a lot. Their mission is to save the earth.

Lyon’s eco-stage will be powered off the grid with biodiesel and features a state of the art hydrogen fuel cell. She’s also supplying information on the latest energy technologies and providing education about environmental initiatives.

Other singers have participated in concerts such as Live Earth but Tracy seems genuinely committed. She has a history of playing at environmentally themed concerts and I think the fact that her stage is eco-friendly shows she really does care. To offset their band’s carbon footprint for any harm they may do to the environment, they’re purchasing carbon credits.

Billboard magazine said, “singer/tunesmith Tracy Lyons proves that she has a knack for wrapping strong words in a velvet glove.” I agree and think it’s great that Tracy is out there publicly pulling for the earth.
